Edward McCartney: Independent County Council Candidate

1.  Please tell us your name, age, where you live, and how you make your living.

Edward M. McCartney, 51, Lakewood, in between jobs.

2.  Describe for us the duties of a member of the County Council.

Although I'm learning about the position, my understanding is that the council is to work with the executive to make ordinances and resolutions to do various things, such as decide how to spend money for services, and consider the advice of boards and the people.

3.  Why do you want to serve on County Council?

To have a godly influence for our society, which is presently somewhat secular or ungodly due to some bad United States' Supreme Court opinions, which ought to be checked. Resolutions could be sent to higher governments, such as to theonomically amend the American constitution, to give us the freedom to act in a scriptural manner in consideration of Leviticus 26 and other scriptures of the King James Version. You may see the following. http://lakewooditesformccartney.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/theonomic-amendment/

4.  What qualifications to you bring that make you the most qualified?

God has blessed me with enough sense to recognise scriptural supremacy. If the society is like a building, although we need roofers and window installers, my place is to work on the foundation so that we can have a sane society that has enough sense to either obey and directly execute (enforce) the scriptures, or to legislate according to the Bible, in consideration of Psalm 11:3 and other scriptures.

5.  What will you do in your first weeks? Please describe in detail, to give our readers and idea of what this position will actually be like.

If the people elect open minded councillors that are reasonable, hopefully I could open discussions about religion and the first (1st) amendment to the American constitution to send a resolution to Ohio's general assembly and the American congress to amend the fœderal constitution to rightly subordinate that constitution to the law of God and the rest of the scriptures. I would also like to have open discussions about race, morality, money, history, and any other subject that we need to discuss to solve problems.

6.  How, specifically, will we know that you are doing a good job?

When a constituent calls a representative with an idea based on the Bible, (like our state's motto,) and isn't given blather about, the separation of church and state, so called. When a decent modestly attired beautiful young blonde and blue eyed white woman can walk any where in Cuyahoga county during any time of the day or night without being apprehensive about being savagely raped. When we have peace and righteousness. When the people, employers, and governments place the will of God ahead of money. When the people may openly discuss religion, race, morality, and all subjects without losing their jobs, or being beaten. When the people and their elected office holders realise that religion, morality, and knowledge are essential to good government according to section 7 of article I of Ohio's constitution. When the people live according to the word of God and are happy; for a bad people can get a bad ruler according to I Samuel 8. And when the people and governmental officers realise that the law of the Creator is superior to the laws of creatures.
